Ruth 3
1 But afterwards, when she returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi said to her: “My daughter, I will seek rest for you, and I will provide so that it may be well with you.
Ruth te a mani Naomi loh, “Ka canu aw, nang ham ngolbuel khaw ka tlap mapawt a? te ni nang ham a voelphoeng eh.
2 This Boaz, whose young women you joined in the field, is our near relative, and this night he will winnow the threshing floor of barley.
A lopai na balak puei Boaz te mah kah huiko moenih a? Anih te khoyin ah cangtilhmuen kah cangtun a cop lah ko te.
3 Therefore, wash and anoint yourself, and put on your decorative garments, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not let the man see you, while he finishes eating and drinking.
Te dongah sil uh lamtah situi hluk. Te phoeiah na himbai te na pum dongah bai lamtah cangtilhmuen la suntla thuk. A caak a ok a coeng duela hlang taengah moe boeh.
4 But when he goes to sleep, observe the place where he sleeps. And you will approach and lift up the covering, the part which covers near his feet, and lay yourself down, and sleep there; but he will tell you what you are obliged to do.”
Tedae a yalh tue om bitni. Te vaengah a yalh nah hmuen te phatuem lamtah pahoi paan. Te phoeiah a kho te khawn pah lamtah yalh pah. Te vaengah na saii ham te amah loh nang taengah a thui bitni,” a ti nah.
5 She answered, “I will do everything as you have instructed.”
Te dongah amani te, “Kai taengah na thui boeih te saii bitni,” a ti nah.
6 And she went down to the threshing floor, and she did everything that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
Te dongah cangtilhmuen la suntla tih a mani loh anih a uen bangla boeih a saii.
7 And when Boaz had finished eating and drinking, and he was merry, and he had gone to sleep by the pile of sheaves, she approached secretly, and, lifting the covering near his feet, she laid herself down.
Boaz khaw a caak a ok tih a lungbuei a voelphoeng nen tah yalh hamla canghlom hmatoeng te a paan. Te vaengah a muel la a paan tih a kho a khawn pah phoeiah a yalh pah.
8 And behold, when it was the middle of the night, the man became frightened and confused, and he saw a woman lying near his feet.
Khoyin boengli ah tah tongpa te lakueng tih a hoi uh hatah a kho taengah huta tarha ana yalh pah.
9 And he said to her, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth, your handmaid. Spread your covering over your servant, for you are a near relative.”
Te dongah, “Nang ulae?” a ti nah hatah, “Na salnu kai, Ruth ni, nan tlan coeng dongah na salnu he na himbai hmoi neh aka ng'khuk thil laeh,” a ti nah.
10 And he said, “You are blessed by the Lord, daughter, and you have excelled beyond your earlier benevolence, because you have not followed young men, whether poor or rich.
Te dongah, “Ka canu, BOEIPA dongah na yoethen coeng. Hlanglen mai khaw, tattloel mai cakhaw tongpang hnukah na caeh pawt dongah lamhma kah lakah a hnuk lam ni na sitlohnah neh na voelphoeng pueng.
11 Therefore, do not be afraid, but whatever you decide about me, I will accomplish for you. For all the people, who dwell within the gates of my city, know that you are a virtuous woman.
Te dongah ka canu na hoe boeih te rhih boeh, nang tah tatthai nu tila ka pilnam kah vongka tom m'ming coeng dongah nang ham kan saii bitni.
12 Neither do I deny myself to be a near relative, but there is another nearer than I.
Kai loh kan tlan ham khaw tueng ngawn coeng dae aka tlan ham te kai lakah aka yoei rhep om pueng.
13 Be at peace for this night. And when morning arrives, if he is willing to uphold the law of kinship for you, things will turn out well; but if he is not willing, then, I will take you, without any doubt, as the Lord lives. Sleep until morning.”
Khoyin ah rhaeh lamtah mincang ah ni nang aka tlan te a om atah a then la n'tlan saeh. Tedae nang te tlan ham a ngaih pawt atah BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah nang te kamah loh kan tlan bitni, mincang duela yalh mai dae,” a ti nah.
14 And so she slept by his feet until the night was ending. And she arose before men could inquire of one another. And Boaz said, “Be careful, lest someone know that you came here.”
Te dongah mincang duela a kho tang, a kho tang ah a yalh pah. Tedae a hui te kah hlang a hmat hlan ah vawl thoo coeng. Te vaengah Boaz longtah, “Cangtilhmuen huta ha pawk he a ming uh moenih,” a ti.
15 And again he said, “Spread your mantle that covers you, and hold it with both hands.” As she extended it and held it, he measured six measures of barley and placed it upon her. Carrying it, she went into the city.
Te vaengah, “Na pum dongkah te himbai hang khuen lamtah duen lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah himbai te a tuuk doela cangtun khoi rhuk a loeng pah phoeiah Ruth a phueih sak tih kho khuila cet.
16 And she came to her mother-in-law, who said to her: “What have you been doing, daughter?” And she explained to her all that the man had accomplished for her.
A mani taengla a pawk vaengah, “Ka canu nang u taengah lae na caeh,” a ti nah hatah Hlang loh anih ham a saii pah te boeih a thui.
17 And she said, “Behold, he gave me six measures of barley, for he said, ‘I am not willing to have you return empty to your mother-in-law.’”
Te dongah, “Cangtun khoi rhuk he kai ham ham poep tih, 'Na mani te kuttling la paan boeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
18 And Naomi said, “Wait, daughter, until we see how things will turn out. For the man will not rest until he has accomplished what he said.”
Te vaengah, “Ka canu tihnin kah olka he a khah uh hlan atah hlang te mong mahpawh, metlamlae olka a dip eh tite na ming duela ngol,” a ti nah.
